Glory be to God
The A football team’s first game against RVA this season was a good one. The score of the game doesn’t reflect the energy and effort that each one of us brought to the field. We played smart and we played the best together as a team that we have all season. There were many close chances for us at the goal, but today was not our day to finish first, but to finish strong for our team mates. The second half of the game, after we were down, brought some amazing performances by Alexandra and Eunice and the entire team fought to win the ball and finish strong. Mostly the team is thankful for no injuries (since we seem to be prone to them) and a chance to play a good game of soccer. Some teams might play for the medals, the fans, or the brownies at the end, but we play for the glory of God and for each other, every minute of the game.

Middle School Girls Soccer
The MS Girls Football team continues to play well. They have displayed such great hustle, teamwork and sportsmanship this season. Last Wednesday, they welcomed the Buffaloes from RVA and played a tight first half, finishing with a slight lead of 1-0. The close game continued into the second half until the offense broke through the RVA defense to score 4 more goals. Our defense was tested but remains unscored on through 7 games. Abby had the defensive highlight with a great save in the first half. Joanne scored a hat trick and Karen added 2 more goals to keep up the offensive pressure.
Thanks to the parents and fans for cheering these girls on.

Cat in need of a good home:
“Older” kitty needs a nice quiet home, for six months or permanently. We are going away from late May until early January ‘13 and are looking for a temporary or permanent new home for our white and orange tabby cat who will turn 9 this summer. He is neutered, current on vaccinations, in good health, set in his ways, and every inch a cat (cat lovers will know what this means.) He is friendly, sits in laps on occasion, likes to be petted when he is awake and combed while he eats, loves his food dish. He likes to have a quiet place to sleep, but to be near “his people” when he is awake. He does not scratch furniture or steal food in the kitchen, and is quiet around the house, but may wake you up wanting to come in in the morning (unless you have a “kitty door” (or a kitty window) for him to go in and out.) He is an indoor (during most of the daytime, when he sleeps) and outdoor (at night) cat, and a very poor fighter, which means he needs to live in an environment where he is sheltered from other cats (and unfriendly dogs) when he is outside. He is very shy with strangers (especially outdoors) and not used to small children. He eats only commercial cat food, and does not eat “people food”. If anyone is willing to take him on temporarily, we will provide his food but we are not seeking a paid boarding service. Available mid-May. If interested, please call 0734 155 498.
Wanted: Looking for a freezer, good working condition, low price. Prefer 220V. Please contact Adrienne 0787 269 535.
